Palming
Teleread: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the gentlest DRM of all?
In the wake of Barnes & Noble's exit from the e-book business and its forthcoming shutdown of its e-book locker, my frequent correspondent Lynn Dimmick writes with PalmDigitalMedia in mind:
"I have bought a couple of B&N books in the past when I was trying out my Ipaq. I didn't like the DRM because it was not [easily] transferable to [another] machine, etc.
I shudder to think of what would happen to the e-book world if Palm did something like closing down. Fortunately with Palm I can always download my books and store them for future use on any platform. I just have to be willing to use a credit card number to unlock them.
The irony of the Palm method is that it also restricts book sharing and transferring but in a way that seems to be more in tune with the intent behind copyright laws--tough to pirate and usually only shared with intimate friends or family."
